Hi

The gitignore file is probably what you are looking for which is also honored by git-annex. Some documentation:

* [On git-scm](http://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore)
* [On gitready](http://de.gitready.com/beginner/2009/01/19/ignoring-files.html)
* [On github](https://help.github.com/articles/ignoring-files)
